The interview first started with my introduction. The panelist then asked me questions based on the skills I had mentioned on my resume.

He asked some conceptual questions about those skills.

Then he also asked about my internship work and what I had done during that time.

Next, he gave me one coding challenge (CP) question to solve and asked me to explain the logic. It was an easy-level question. I told him the logic to solve it and also suggested a more efficient approach when he inquired.

After listening to my logic, he asked me to write the pseudocode on paper and explain the flow of the code.

Following this, he also gave me one puzzle to solve. It was a little hard, but when I got stuck at one step, he provided a hint.

Puzzle Question:

There are 25 horses present, and we have 5 race tracks provided (we can race 5 horses at a time).

We have to get the top 3 horses in the minimum number of races.

Answer: 7
